(Pancho) Yep, mules for sure for the rides down off the rim. Fantastic safety record as well. Back in the 1880's the gold prospectors brought in burros. While I was there in the late 70's there were some feral ones still around. They used to freak out the guests at some of the campsites. Ornery little critters. You guys are probably familiar with the kid's book "Brighty of the Grand Canyon"....story about one of those burros. Also, if you're driving up there from Phoenix try to make it up to Jerome, Oak Creek Canyon and Sedona. Beats just going up I-17 for scenery anyway. <br> &nbsp; <br> <a href="http://www.nationalparkstraveler.com/2009/04/creature-feature-feral-burros-are-equina-non-grata-national-parks" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="http://www.nationalparkstraveler.com/2009/04/creature-feature-feral-burros-are-equina-non-grata-national-parks">http://www.nationalparkst...n-grata-national-parks</a> <br> &nbsp; <br> &nbsp; <br> &nbsp; <br> &nbsp; <br> &nbsp; <br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m757839.ashxFindPost/758204Sat, 26 Oct 2013 13:45:01 GMTRe:Top joints list?
